Sea Ranch Lakes, Florida, faces a relatively high risk for hurricane threats due to its proximate coastal location in South Florida. Being a beachfront village ringed by bodies of water, it is also particularly susceptible to storm surges and heavy rainfall-induced floods. Its average elevation is just about six feet above sea level, which contributes significantly to the flood risk. The low-lying areas prone to tidal flooding and the vulnerability of the building infrastructure further accentuates these risks. In the last 30 years, Sea Ranch Lakes has experienced the impact of several major hurricanes and extreme weather events, highlighting the real and present danger posed by such conditions. In 1992, Hurricane Andrew caused widespread destruction in South Florida. More recently, Hurricane Irma in 2017, although not making a direct landfall, caused substantial flood damage due to storm surge and heavy rains. Given these considerations, hurricane preparedness, including flood mitigation strategies, should be a major priority for residents of Sea Ranch Lakes. Homes should be fortified according to the latest building codes equipped to withstand wind damage and storm surge. In addition, evacuation plans should be in place, particularly for high-intensity hurricanes.
